I'm a third year student of Marine Geography, studying @ Cardiff
University, I'm also a keen ( but still very much a novice - plenty of blanks
& not enough fish) sea angler. I'm researching for my dissertation which is based on Shore Angling in South Wales.

This dissertation hopes
to examine Shore Angling in South Wales and
assess itís economic, environmental and social impacts in the area. At this
point in time many
subjects relating to Recreational Shore Angling, are very high on the agenda of
Local and National Government, as well as Non Government Organizations, at both local and National level.

Closer
to home topics concerning Shore Angling have arisen as issues of importance
in the Severn Estuary
Strategy (SES) stakeholder groups.
The SES provides a way for all organizations and individuals to communicate about the estuary and their concerns.

After
designing this questionnaire I've become aware of it's short comings,
please excuse the clumsiness of some of the questions. I only hope I get
the opportunity to refine my techniques in the future.

The marks page hopes to
collect and compile a list of the most intensively fished areas in South
Wales, itís not an attempt to cash in on your favorite fishing hot
spots. The information is rather to be used in this and future work to
guide research.

Please
visit the marks page and leave a cope of marks that are not already on
there.
